Midwest Transplant Network Donor Quilt
09/14/1970 - 10/15/1996 The Donor Memorial Quilt means so much to our family. We entitled it “Angel Watching Over Us.” Bruce was never acquainted with his daughter, Brittany Elaine Atkinson, born after his death, or Tommy Warren, recipient of Bruce’s right kidney. A friend of the family, Edward Jackson, from Houston Texas, collaged this picture on the patch from separate photographs. We are deeply indebted to him for his creative abilities. October 15, 1996 changed our family’s day into a nightmare. God’s plan was to bring completeness to this tragedy giving us extended family members. “Grief is a price we pay for love.” Donor Grandmother Rev. Beulah M. Langford
